IMDB staff arbitrarily changing info

For the critic reviews I submit/upload to IMDB - the correct appellation (IONCINEMA.com) is being switched to Ion Cinema. We've never once referred to our media outlet as such and someone at IMDB is making that switch every single time out. How do I prevent this from happening?

Issue with review submissions etc.

A couple of days ago I submitted a review of West Side Story (2021) on IMDB. Often my reviews take only a few minutes to go live (why do they take longer than this?) but after about 12 hours with it still not being online, I replied to an old thread of mine here mentioning the reoccurrence of the pr

Feedback: allow a review I just submitted to be edited

I made a typo in the title of my review so I immediately submitted a fixed review. It appears they might have been submitted as separate reviews based on the fact the contribution numbers are different. In the future it should be possible to edit the original review and re-submit.

My problem is fixed…ignore this post (it won’t let me delete it)

I posted a review 3 days ago and it says it’s still pending. I post reviews all the time and it usually posts right away. Thanks! update: it’s been posted so don’t worry about this post. It won’t let me delete it but it’s been fixed.

Highlighted Review - banded

When you see the single highlighted review, it is far too individualistic to be useful. What would be better as a visitor would be to have eg three band rating ranges - 1-3, 4-7 & 8-10 - (or similar eg 1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-10) and show a top review for each of these bands, so that you are presented

Why does your policy allow reviewers to give 10 ratings but then admit it is much lower but they want to sway the rating?

Why does your policy allow reviews where the person gives the show a 10 but says "it's not really a 10. It's a 7 but I just want to counter the negative reviews..." Then they go on to make A,B,C (false/insulting) accusations against other viewers saying their projected insult/reason is why everyone

One Piece Episode 1071 review bombed

What kind of "fan" reviews with mostly 10's and 1's? I'm pretty sure the episode is being review bombed by DBZ, Naruto/Boruto and Attack on Titan fans, as showcased in this article https://www.animesenpai.net/attack-on-titan-fan-creates-300-fake-accounts-to-review-bomb-one-piece-gear-5-

True Detective: Matthew McConaughey Out Takes

This doesn't belong on IMDB. There are 2 reviews written for the series under it, but this is a gag reel on YouTube with a guy pretending to be Matthew McConaughey.  It’s less than two minutes long. I don’t believe that a less than two minute gag reel belongs on IMDb.

Communication with IMDB reviewers

Jessica rains - Claude Rains' daughter - and I are writing a book about Claude's more offbeat projects, and I would like to ask the permission of two of your reviewers to use their reviews of Claude's 1960 "Shangri-La" (Hallmark Hall of Fame) in our book. Please advise ASAP.
